The award-winning global smash hit Six the Musical has teamed up with The Soho Hotel to unveil a regal new afternoon tea experience, inspired by the six Queens and the musical that continues to reign over the West End.
Until the end of the year, Refuel at The Soho Hotel will serve a limited-edition Afternoon Tea menu daily from 12pm – 4:45pm. Created in collaboration with the hit West End show celebrating the six wives of Henry VIII, the hotel’s pastry chefs have devised a royal selection fit for a Queen.
Afternoon tea goers can expect a spread worthy of Hampton Court with a Tudor twist on the classic finger sandwich selection, accompanied by savoury specials including a crayfish manchet roll and mature cheddar tart with onion jam. Tuck into fluffy scones paired with clotted cream and preserves, and raise a glass to the queens with a specially curated drink. You can opt for The Ex-Wives – a crisp, peachy blend of dry white wine, grapefruit and rosemary – or enjoy the non-alcoholic Lady in Waiting, with elderflower, peach and jasmine.
The crowning glory of the afternoon tea, however, is a line-up of six pastries, each inspired by one of the Queens!
- Aragon’s Crown of Honour
- Boleyn’s Strawberry Biscuit
- Seymour’s Heart of Stone Blueberry Choux
- Black Forest Cake of Cleves
- Howard’s All You Want is Rice Pudding
- Parr’s Tudor Rose and Lemon Curd Macaron
Alessandro Paoloni, Head Pastry Chef at The Soho Hotel, said: “This Afternoon Tea is our homage to the fabulous Queens of Six! Watching the musical gave me the chance to really understand their stories. I have tried to distil the essence of each Queen into a pastry and I hope that guests enjoy our tribute.”
The Queens currently reigning over the West End are: Jaz Robinson as Catherine of Aragon, Thao Therese Nguyen as Anne Boleyn, Hana Stewart as Jane Seymour, Dionne Ward-Anderson as Anna of Cleves, Caitlyn De Kuyper as Katherine Howard, and Amelia Kinu Muus as Catherine Parr. They are joined by Alternates: Leonor Correia as Jane Seymour/Katherine Howard, Odelia Dizel-Cubuca as Anne Boleyn/Catherine Parr, and Honey Joseph as Catherine of Aragon/Anna of Cleves, alongside Super Swings Laura Baxter, Meg Dixon-Brasil, and Shakira Simpson.
From 4-9 November, SIX will welcome cast members from its smash-hit Japan production to the West End for a special one-week run. Across eight performances, the show will be performed entirely in Japanese (with English subtitles provided) for the first time in the UK.
